Hello.
I am installing new wiring on my 2150.
I have the correct colours and dimensions of wires for the overdrive control solenoid.
Problem is I can not find any markings for the terminals on the solenoid.
Is there anybody who can help?

They are stamped -- sometimes faintly -- directly on the metal case near the terminals. If the solenoid is dirty it will probably need cleaning with a wire brush to see them.







When you bolt the solenoid to the OD make sure the spacer is oriented correctly. The mounting and plunger holes are offset slightly and it will seem to go either way but if wrong the spacer can be bent or solenoid will bind. The one or two small 1/8" holes in the edge or drilled toward one side of the spacer go towards the rear.

Thanks.
